Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Choosing a therapist is a highly subjective experience. Although education, good training and a comfortable environment all are important factors in the therapeutic experience, the most important quality to look for in a therapist is whether you feel that you can develop a trusting, open communication with them. Therapy ultimately is a relationship between you and your therapist. It is a different relationship than any other relationships you have in your life as it is bound by professional ethics, theory and it is not an equal give and take relationship. As a therapist, it is my job to help you create an environment that feels safe, supportive, and conducive to your self growth and insight. It is not my job to judge you, direct you, or impose my opinions onto your life. We work together to create a place for you in which you can discover what it is that you really need, want and feel outside of other's opinions and influences. It is my job to help you to strengthen your inner voice and the self awareness that allows you to find the answers to your own questions.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
As an Afghanistan veteran and licensed psychotherapist, my unique journey gives me deep insight into trauma's impact. I use a holistic approach, integrating talk therapy with somatic practices (yoga, meditation, yoga nidra) to help you heal and find resilience. I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction counseling, and navigating narcissistic abuse. I also provide DOT SAP evaluations for transportation professionals.
If you experience any of these symptoms—hyperarousal, irritability, chronic fatigue, chronic shame, overeating, substance abuse, difficulties trusting others or yourself, trouble relating to others, avoidance of certain situations or memories, or physical symptoms like tightness in your shoulders, jaw, or stomach—you may be dealing with the aftermath of abuse.
I specialize in helping individuals who are victims of abuse. However, if your relationship involves active emotional or physical abuse, and one partner is predominantly abusive, individual counseling for each of you may be more suitable. My approach is most effective when both partners have experienced abuse but are not in an antagonistic dynamic where one person is the primary abuser.

Hi there. Admitting you need therapy is not always easy, but it's a courageous step toward prioritizing your mental health and well-being. I value your input and perspective, and I'd like to collaborate with you rather than tell you what to do. Together, we will tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I make it a priority to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel comfortable openly discussing their concerns without fear of judgment. My practice primarily focuses on assisting clients with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.
Many of my clients grapple with daily life stressors and encounter difficulties in connecting with their loved ones. To address these issues, I employ a compassionate yet direct approach, drawing from evidence-based techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I'm genuinely eager to build a strong, trusting partnership with you and delve deeper into your story. Throughout our journey together, I strive to be a supportive guide, helping you navigate towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. Call or email me now to schedule an appointment or free consultation. I hope to hear from you soon.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.
